My lupus started out with a severe itching rash literally from head to toe. I no longer have the rash but my skin is so sensitive and itching 50% of the time. I have trouble finding something that I can sleep in that doesn't irritate my skin. I have found that 100% cotton is about the only thing I can tolerate. Just wondered if anybody else had similar symptoms / problem.
Yes, I have itchy skin with or without the rash. A cold wash cloth or ice (if you can tolerate that) helps me as well as drinking ginger tea. I use Cerave cream exclusively on my skin. Not certain how much it helps but it's a mild, non-irritating cream. I hope it resolves for you.
Itch skin is fairly common. I found that the only thing that really worked for me is a lotion that
contains Tea Tree Oil.
Areas of my skin itch too with no rash as well. I use benedryl cream. I will use Eucerin cream too or natural essential oils
Yes, Cathie, I had itching legs without any rashes. I'm grateful that it no longer bothers me. However, now I suffer from itchy rashes on different areas. My skin is very sensitive too and I cannot tolerate certain fabrics. Hope you are better soon.
I do itch a lot and I’m super dry. I have Sjogrens as well. I try to use gobs of lotion. My Rhumatologist said it could be my nerves dealing with lupus as well ( neurological)
